Christine specializes in private behavior consultations. Her passion and creativity bring fun, inventive training solutions to challenging behavior problems.
“The dog training field is still sadly laden with self-proclaimed gurus without credentials, real skills or professional ethics. Christine Hibbard is the opposite: Educated and skilled in animal learning and training, dog behavior, instructing and counseling. She exemplifies utmost professionalism."

"saved our life"
Review of Puppy Head Start, November 10, 2008
My daughter brought home an adorable little puppy..... you know how the story goes:)
After many nights of sleep deprivation, we contacted Kristine and she saved our life.... and the puppies too! She was extremely patient, kind and knowledgeable. Her method of "positive" reinforcement was refreshing, as the methods I'd learned previous weren't working.
I would highly recommend Kristine to anyone struggling with their "new best friend". It really doesn't need to be so hard....

"Real Help and Support for Behavior Issues"
Review of Private dog behavior consultations, November 09, 2008
I did a private consultation with Christine for my reactive, dog-aggressive dog. After years of various training classes and supposed experts, I wasn't sure how things would go with yet another person, but I needn't have worried. All of Christine's work is based on sound, scientific behavior modification principles and she is very calm, professional and empathetic. She will work with both ends of the leash on problems and provides tons of support via emails, phone calls if needed, and a comprehensive array of handouts, books, DVDs, etc. She also changed our equipment, and moving my dog to a harness has revolutionized our walks. If you want not only results but a better relationship with your dog, call Christine for a consultation.
